ns What Has Been Done for These People
and missionaries doing work, and nearly two hundred Protestant
churches and mission stations, the Bohemian membership in the dif-
ferent denominations being over ten thousand. Some congregations
are still dependent on the help of American churches.
The Bible societies are a great factor in helping the Bohemians in
printing their Bibles and portions of the Holy Scriptures and the tract
societies deserve all praise and thanks for publishing books and
tracts in Bohemian and sending colporteurs to people who otherwise
could not be reached.
. The Bohemians in Russia
The Bohemians are everywhere in the world, so they must be also
in Russia. There is a colony of them in Australia, another in New
Zealand and still another in Hawaii. The number of Bohemian colon-
ists in Russia is about sixty thousand. They settled there seventy
years ago. They have some Protestant churches and a few ministers.
There are also over two hundred thousand Bohemian prisoners of war
in Russia, who are now free and fighting for the liberties of the
world. Both classes need the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May God help
our people in Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, America, Russia and every-
where; and may God bless the American people for their help and
love towards these and other people; and may the salvation of Christ
become the possession of all the people throughout the world!
THE GREEKS
By REV. C. T. PAPADOPOULOS of Chicago
Before I start to tell what we have done for the Greeks, it is
important to consider the question: "Why should we help the
Greeks?" First of all, it is our Christian duty, or rather our Chris-
tian privilege, to help others to come to Christ. It is a great privilege
to teach them the love of Christ, which passeth all knowledge. Christ
says: "I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and
bring forth fruit." "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations ... to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
As long as we are the children of God we cannot but help. Paul says:
"The love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if
one died for all, then were all dead; . . . that they which live
should not henceforth live unto themselves; but unto Him which
died for them." In other words, no real Christian can stand idle seeing
the millions dying in sin and under the yoke of the devil.
